1. Two revelations. Russia election meddling investigation started after Australian spy agency tip.

Not opposition funded dossier, although that is a seperate damning timeline of evidence.

And Mueller has a lot more in a tightly sealed bag that is not public. Yet.

2. The irony of it being in a wine (whine) bar is too perfect

Foxworld is whining it's collective ass off right now.

3. White Houses dont hire Coffee Boys to sit in at Presidential meetings

5. Did they really have dirt?

WASHINGTON — During a night of heavy drinking at an upscale London bar in May 2016, George Papadopoulos, a young foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, made a startling revelation to Australia’s top diplomat in Britain: Russia had political dirt on Hillary Clinton.

About three weeks earlier, Mr. Papadopoulos had been told that Moscow had thousands of emails that would embarrass Mrs. Clinton, apparently stolen in an effort to try to damage her campaign.

I keep seeing this-- "they had dirt on Clinton"-- and it's never clear whether that was just a "come-on" or if there was any dirt. I know some of the hacks came up with embarrassing stuff (on Podesta, for instance, dissing of Sanders), but was there actual "dirt?"
I'm honestly asking-- did the Russkis have anything for real? (I'm resurrecting that cold-war epithet. Did I miss the dirt?

6. Think there's a chance in friggin' HELL we'd have NOT heard exactly what it is?

It would've been out before the election. See: whatever is in the bullshit Facebook and PAC-Funded Pro-Trump ads from June-Nov 2016, and you'll find ALL THE DIRT ... the Russians actually gave to Trump's people.

Guarantee it.

That's my way of saying "we have no way to know for sure what the Russki's had or didn't have, but it's doubtful there's anything GOP/TrumpCo received ... they didn't use in some public way"

If there was anything REAL bad ... the Complicit Corporate Media would've heard about it from TrumpCo somehow, and run with it for days on end ... Another thing you can count on ...

7. This is not the only thing suggesting it ...

There were FISA warrants on Carter Page (at minimum) that we know of related to Russia from 2015 IIRC.

Additionally there's also the fact that Steele came up with SO MUCH verifiably TRUE stuff in such a short time period from taking over the project, it's very clear that there were investigations into Trump and his Associates begun by Intel agencies from all over the damn world ... that's the only way he could've come up with so much great dirt ... that fast. He called his friends/connections in the 'business' from all around the world and found out what they'd been working on.

I mean ... it's dead obvious.

And I'd be shocked ... if some of those were not US sources.
